Yummies

My goodness I made spaghetti squash last night for the first time – HOT DAMN that bitch was tasty. I don’t love that it cost $5+ but I have to say it was magical. I tried it in 3 small servings. 1 with tomato sauce, 1 with pesto sauce, 1 with olive oil, garlic, oregano. They were all tied for most delicious.

QUESTION: I have a TON of it I put in a gladware container, how long can it sit around? What are reheating recommendations?

This morning I had a Vitatop breakfast sandwich – YUM and only 150 calories.

I had a pretty successful trip to Publix yesterday, it has been a LONG time since I’ve been. I ended up getting my regular groceries at Wal-Mart and then went to public for speciality items. It was pretty successful and cost effective. Buying the right foods is key to weightloss success and it’s really worth it to drop the money.

Love Feast.

Love will make you do some crazy things. Like buy pink chocolate chip pancakes and then wake up early to prepare said pancakes. Who am I?

This weekend I made W a valentines breakfast – but I’ll tell myself I just used it as an excuse to drink mimosas 😛

I’ve lived alone for so long and cooked for just me that it’s weird and cool to cook for someone else. I am slowly trying to incorporate healthier options in Wiley’s diet – like sugar free options and more veggies/fruits. He’s coming along!

I’m excited about a soup and salad lunch at home. It’s a favorite combo of mine. I wish there were more places here that I could go for soup and salad for a reasonable price.

When I lived in North Texas there was a place called SalaDeli which was awesome and in the Dallas area I’d go to Souper Salad.

Not that eating your body weight in soup and salad is good for you, but I’m SUCH a sucker for an unlimited salad bar.

This lovely lady has done South Beach and Atkins, eats healthy foods all the time, doesn’t deprive herself, exercises regularly, and has had amazing results. She looks like a brunette My Size Barbie. She now has a stockpile of healthy recipes that I’ve asked her to share here. But since I don’t…

THIS LINE CRACKED ME THE EFF UP: “Lesson: Eating something that looks like cat vomit but tastes really delicious WILL make you look like a Barbie. It’s science.”

Realization

In all my previous and failed weight loss attempts I would RUN* so I could EAT.

These days I EAT so I can RUN.

It’s such a crazy mental shift, but running is THE most important thing to me right now. I make so many decisions based around running and I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way.

*I didn’t start actually running until this year, but I would use the elliptical, go to classes, etc.

WIW – Thursday Edition

Since I totally forgot to weight myself yesterday, mainly because I slept in a little too long and was running late I weighed in today.

  • Last Week: 178.2
  • This Week: 179.8
  • Change: +1.6

Somehow I always gain after races. Maybe it’s because for most of my races have been while I was away on a weekend getaway OR really I plan weekend getaway round races. Regardless I don’t get to keep up with my habits and sometimes local fare is too tempting.
